New York City, Sept. 17, 04.
Mr. A. C. Forester, Cairo, Ga.:
Dear Bro.—I arrived in this city
on the 18th inst. My long ride
did net tire me a great deal; I
was feeling fine and went to hard
down work buying goods. I have
bought some of the best values
for the least money, I have ever
seen. Am having the goods ship
ped out as fast as I buy them and
when you have opened them up
and looked them over, I’m sure
you will say they are the best yoi*
have ever seen for the money.
Tell our friends and customers
to be sure to wait and look over
otir stock before making their fall
and winter purchases. I find that
I am buying goods a great deal
cheaper than I could a few
weeks ago. We can save our cus
tomers at least 25 per cent more
than others do, who do not visit
the eastern markets, but buy from
drummers.
We save our customers the
4 4 middle man’s” profit, a great
saving. Sell all the goods you
can while I am away, in order to
make room for the good things I
am buying. Don’t forget to tell
all our customers that we will
have a store full of great bargains
for them this fall and winter, and
we cordially invite them to call
and look our stock over before
buying.
Your brother,
R. L. Forester.

BY UNCLE JAKE.
In my letter where I mention
ed about the public school fund
and its distribution, I only wish
for some one who is in that pos
sition to know, to “explain
through some paper so the peo
ple might know. I have a letter
from a teacher who says that
he wishes to disabuse my mind
of the mistaken idea I have of
Capt. Maclean’s system of dis
posing of the school fund. Its
not so much what I think, as
what others think, that I want
ed explained. I have been
told years ago that it was
to keep the negro from
getting what the law says is
his. If it is wrong for the
negro to have so much why not
change the law. I think there
has been bills introduced in the
legislature to divide the fund in
proportion to the tax which the
whites and blacks pay. I was
in Mr. Maclean’s office last win
ter, and there was a young man
there who wanted to know what
the school at Meigs would pay.
He had accepted the school and
it was right, from my standpoint,
that be should know what it
payed; but he didn’t find out.
I might tell later why Capt.
Maclean didn’t tell him.

Only Did His Duty as He Saw it.

at Wiley, Kv- I have been sell
ing it for three or four years, and
it gives complete satisfaction.

they would not be without it for
anything. Very often, to my
knowledge, a single dose has cur
ed a severe, attack of diarrhoea,
and I positively know that it will
cure the flux (disentery). You
are at liberty to use this testi
monial as you please.” Sold by
